Agree, but MAD is hardly the best example... in fact, it actually makes a lot of sense, despite the fact that it is, indeed, mad. But look at some of the more ridiculous weapons exercises and theories funded by the Pentagon over the years -- who the hell else would come up with the idea of an anti-ballistic missile system based on a satellite and powered by a nuclear explosion? Or even more ridiculous stuff like the gay bomb. The Pentagon and intel agencies actually spent millions on "psychic warfare" projects at one point; one of the projects allegedly included a plan to develop some sort of time-travel based ABM device -- zap the enemy's missiles back in time so they can explode harmlessly in the past. Seriously. If the Iraqis are spending only $60k apiece on divining rods they are getting off cheap.

Every time I see the Axe deodorant commercial I want to find the person who made it (approved it, came up with it, etc.) and kick them in the face for a very long time!
I've tried this. It's not possible; you have to fight through a crowd of women trying to rip his clothes off.
That's not how I read your original comment (you said block all dutch users from accessing all copyrighted content), but I guess we're splitting hairs at this point.
Actually, if you keep reading the article, they don't have to block Dutch users anymore; they only have to delete the torrents: "Today the Amsterdam Court announced that the earlier default judgment has been nullified. That is, the three operators don’t have to block access to all Dutch users."
As for smoking cannabis, the worst I've managed there was when I was testing some freshly dried and cured, I smoked myself to a state where I was incapable of getting up from my chair without falling down and eventually fell asleep for a couple of hours, no hallucinations though.
Try eating the stuff. Preferably on an empty stomach (eat a couple slabs of bacon or something else fatty shortly after your space cakes if you want to get on the fast train). If you want to trip even harder do this right after giving blood.
Yeah and when you go to kiss someone, always kiss them through a large sheet of latex. Wear gloves whenever touching anything too. In fact, don't even look at anything!
Just a FYI, the medical marijuana community normally encourages the use of vaporizers instead of smoking.
Who is "the medical marijuana community"? Sure, there are many folks who advocate vaporizers, but there are also many fully satisfied with joints and bong hits, and the dispensaries will certainly dispense the medicine in any form. I'd bet that the overwhelming majority of medical pot is smoked in the usual ways, not vaporized or consumed in brownies.
that or he plagiarized portions of it from more than one person. Which brings up another question; how does the software handle quotes from other authors?
The Mac Mini price is about what it was when they first came out, at least in USD. I know it's pricier across the pond but I imagine the old prices were pricier as well. If you can spend 800 pounds and you want a headless mac just get an older used Mac Pro - there's no reason you need the "latest and greatest" if your preference is a "mid-range" box. You might take another look at the new iMacs, though; they have video in which means you don't have built-in obsolescence in the monitors anymore. Nothing revolutionary in these new Mac products but definitely some nice changes across the board; now if they would only add a firewire port to the Macbook....

But these guys really, really wanted to find actual, no bullshit, no cold-reading, honest-to-God psychics. And they didn't.
Or perhaps that's exactly what they want you to think.
can't they just take something for the pain?

So it's 80 years old now?
Hmmm... Is it considered "social activism" to use slashdot to get people to swarm-edit Wikipedia pages?
Seriously. WTF were they thinking? Oh, let's try this, it's working so well in America!
Welcome to legal systems. Whether or not you think justice is being rendered, the rendering takes time.
Can't they just set up a render farm and speed it up?
yeah but those clocks... you can set your watch by them!
Fuck that. I'm heading out Californy-way. I hear they got some internet out there.
Just download the Hulu Desktop app
Dude, you just changed my life.

Does this mean I can finally kick some ass on Guitar Hero?
Not to mention Deutschland!

yeah seriously; you could get a severe dressing down from them
Not only that, but knowing the Dutch, a note like that will actually work. As long as it doesn't involve bicycles they pretty much obey the rules....

It makes Slashdot look like it's run by a bunch of idiots with an agenda, and makes me question how much of the bashing of MS is legitimate.
You know, you're right! In fact I think all this Microsoft bashing is a secret plot hatched by Microsoft to increase sympathy towards the company!
It's kind of a catch-22 because the person who meets those qualifications probably doesn't actually have the requisite experience.

Umm, or so I've heard.
